Episode Details

The Bengals front office has gone all in, pushing their chips to the center of the table. Now, it's all up to Zac Taylor to deliver this season, his EIGHTH as the Bengals head coach. He's done it before, so he can do it again, right? 

Alex Frank, Jake Liscow, and Coach Art Valero discuss how much pressure exactly is on Zac Taylor entering a crucial 2026 season. What must he and the Bengals do to ensure he sees a ninth season in Cincinnati? 

One thing that will help Taylor or should help him, is the Bengals easy strength of schedule. Then again, they had one in 2024. We all know how that season played out. 

Speaking of help, that's something Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins could need. How concerned should e be about depth at the wide receiver position? T

he Bengals' 2026 NFL Schedule is going to be released Thursday night. Alex, Jake, and Coach discuss what they hope to see and not see on the Bengals' Schedule and how many times they could be featured in prime time and the national spotlight.
